Absence makes the heart (and the stomach) grow fonder apparently – judging by the queue outside Mc DOnalds & KFC (Oxford Rd) after the drive-throughs reopened.

Unfortunately, the Mc Donalds restaurant is still not open to diners at Oxford Road but deliveries & drive-through are available.

In fact the restaurant itself may not open until towards September, according to staff.

Drivers are joining a lengthy queue to get their hands on their favourite fast food treats at both venues.

More drive-thrus around the region are starting to open up to take orders from customers as the coronavirus lockdown is eased, see the McDonald branaches have opened

Reading– the branches in Oxford Road, Forbury Retail Park, Bath Road in Calcot and Reading Gate Retail Park are all open.

Slough – McDonald’s in the Bath Road Retail Park, at Slough Uno Bestobell in Buckingham Avenue and in Windsor Road are all open.

Newbury – Newbury Retail Park and Tot Hill Services are also open

If you live in Reading you know The Pavlovs Dog, the welcoming and informal bar in a student area, open from breakfast ’til the early hours. A great place to relax, meet new friends and join in activities such as quizzing and retro-gaming. It was also an ideal place to watch the big games on TV whilst eating and drinking from street food influenced menus.

The venue that closed on 19 January for a make over, has reopens as The Boundary as a sports & craft pub!

Located on St Marys Butts, visit The Boundary great sports viewing, cool craft & great food (including tasty hand-stretched sour dough Pizzas).

OPENING today on the 18th Feb, keep an eye out for our opening & VIP events!

Workhouse coffee is an independent coffee company conceptualised by people wanting to create a unique and exciting experience in coffee. For workhouse this means sticking to our original ideals and not deviating from these. This is why nearly 10 years ago they opened a coffee house with the bar sideways and an open section on the bar to encourage transparency and allow the customers to get involved.

The cornerstones of the business model are driven by ethics, quality, and experimentation. They trade directly with the farms we buy from ensuring the farmers are paid a fair price for their beans. They make buying decisions based purely on what is the very best coffee available – irrespective of price. Lastly, they are constantly experimenting with the layout of our shops and the way the customers interact with our product. This means involving people in the coffee experience and making the process of building your drinks overt and accessible.

They are excited to now be able to offer you the opportunity to buy our award winning coffee online. For those of you that are unfortunate enough to not be able to visit one of our local shops simply click on the Buy Coffee link and see which of our hand roasted single origin coffees or specifically formulated blends is right for you.
